No, installing the SATA chipset drivers is all you need to do. one thing i notice is bios has an option that says "plug and play operating system" disable, so i enable since windows 7 and 10 are plug a...

The only issue is whether the drive will appear in the BIOS, in the list of boot devices and/or list of drives. The advice from Intel suggests that booting may be a problem, but StarTech don't seem to agree. Maybe you will have to try it and see. yeah, i would buy it at microcenter which is close a...

Your pictures don't show how the cables are drawn between the connectors/pins, which is my concern.

i just turn it upside down and plug it in, to get it to fit i cut incisions into the plastic,

i had in mind a product similar to StarTech.com PEX4M2E1 M.2 Adapter – x4 PCIe 3.0 NVMe – Low Profile and Full Profile – SSD PCIE M.2 Adapter – M2 SSD – PCI Express SSD there are 2 pci 16x one of which has a nvidia 7600gs card. the second pci 16x i'm not sure i think it is for a second nvidia card f...

are pwm always 4 pin fans? Yes, one 12V wire, one earth, one fan speed and one PWM control signal. ...the second is empty. is there any way i can add a nvme pci e card and then ad a m.2 samsung and make it bootable? I think this is unlikely to work because you need BIOS support which I suspect will...

HWMonitor from CPUID is a Windows monitoring program which will show actual fan speeds (provided any 3 pin fans are three wire). It doesn't do any fan control. The issue of 3 pin fans running full speed when plugged into the CPU PWM header is an inherent feature of your motherboard. One way to solv...

I did some builds on the Asus P5xxx motherboards back in the day, must have been about ten years ago now. From what I remember, the CPU fan header was PWM only with no option to change this in the BIOS. So you have to use a PWM 4-pin fan for this header. Using a 3 pin fan simply resulted in it runn...

i get

i also post on reddit and other forums and this doesn't happen, only with SPCR

using a pair of pliers i cut throught he very hard plastic and then reversed the connection on the power molex from PSU a corsair PSU to fans, from power to the first one, but the other 2 are normal. This I have difficulties to envision. Can you provide a picture or drawing of the cable arrangement...

you seem knowledgeable about PWM fans. here's an issue i'd like to know if u can resolve my msi 975x 775 motherboard died. caps blew. it died. the cost of labor to replace those caps $100 exceed cost of a new motherboard i bought on ebay a new asus p5k motherboard i transferred cpu gpu ddr2 to new w...

I sure miss the hard drive and heatsink testing. I'd love to get a larger drive than my 3TB Red but most posts here complain the higher capacity ones are noisy now... would love to see testing on higher capacity drives. And no one else out there seems to test heatsinks with low airflow like MikeC d...

Most PWM fans running at around 300 rpm are effectively silent, depending on the background noise level and how sensitive you personally are to noise. Getting 3 pin fans down to these levels is not so easy, particularly because it normally involves limiting top speed to less than 1000 rpm and maybe...

i have a corsair case with 3 front fans with blue led and a top 20cm fan (i think) all use the old legacy 4 pin legacy. there are 3 such fans and my own 2-pin 120mm fan, the 3 fans each have a 4-pin with a pass through using a pass through molex 4-pin with 3-pin fan connector i connect 2-pin 120mm f...

Yes, more or less. Plus the plethora of PWM fans that can run at speeds around 300 rpm at idle, the improvement in motherboard fan controls and so on. However in my opinion at least there is still a shortage of the detailed information and sound measurements that were a hallmark of SPCR reviews. ma...

Its up to you, but investing $70 on an old platform to me its not a good investment, that said anything spent into PCs is also bad, regardless if its new or old. Now you seem to get by fine with a dual core, specially an old dual core, so you should be more than fine with a pentium/celeron or AMD A...

AMD Zen2 will be released this year, and looks more like a refresh of Ryzen, probably better overclocking and higher base clocks, but i doubt there will be DDR5 for that chipset, DDR5 specs will hit 2018, but i expect 2020 to hit chipsets and cpus, its not that fast the adoptions. my c2duo from 200...

I now have full LC in my system and sorry, not going to remove it any time soon (too much hassle, I hope you understand). I'm pretty sure though that you could put the hooks/eyes from the Ninja mounting set through the holes in any AMD board. But the thread in the backplate is unlikely to match the...

Well, I still have the Ninja & full box, and I actually do have a Ryzen now, but I didn't really bother to check the possibilities of fitting these two. Seriously tho, just looking at the mounting system, I can't think of an easy way to do it. The Ninja has a square layout (75 x 75 now) and the AM4...

what about ryzen am4?

GeForce GT 1030 draws below 35W according to Tom's Hardware .
